My Food Dairy and Healthy Choices

August 25th, 2008 · No Comments

This week Heather asked me to keep track of my food intake.  I have not tracked my eating habits for about four weeks.  Since I have lost a few pounds my calorie intake has decreased from 1521 calories a day to 1496 calories a day.  I knew this would happen once I started losing weight; to continue losing I would have to decrease my calorie intake.  I thought it would be much fewer calories than 1496, I can still live with this.

Of course the week she ask me to count calories was not a routine week for me.  We left town on Thursday and I did not have control of my schedule like I usually do.  We were traveling with our kids.  This was hard for me because I do not normally eat at fast food places or much of the junk kids love to eat. 

I did plan the menu for when we got to where we were going and I made a huge salad and had lots of fresh fruit on hand for when I wanted to snack on something.  This helped with the temptation that could come from the potato chips and cookies I packed for the kids.  Most of the time I did well.

What was really good was as soon as I got home I went for a run.  It is good to relax and take time off.
